93,200 Texas Jobs Lost Since February

The Texas Workforce Commission announced that Texas lost 47,100 jobs in March.  With 46,100 jobs lost in February it is clear that Texas isn’t untouched by the current economic downturn.  If you read the post below, you’ll see that 1,000 MW of Texas solar equals 25,000 jobs.

From Igniting Texas’ New Energy Economy:

“If government sends a clear market signal that it is serious and intent on getting Texas on a transition toward a cleaner energy path, that market signal will be very effective.”
